I have this uneasy feeling, mind you it is just a feeling without rational thought behind it, that Trump will sieze an opportunity to overthrow our government and declare himself supreme chancellor. I also feel he is willing to create that opportunity if he could. So yeah, I would prefer pence over this.

See, I found a way to justify having pence over trump

Rather a subtle matter of wide awake mindfulness.

Subtlety is often lost in translation.

I very much doubt that will happen. In order to succeed, he will first need to do away with the Congress, a very tall order. Then the military needs to get behind him, an imossibility IMO. Even if some red states align behind Trump, in the end, most states will want no part of it.

There is the prickly matter of the US constitution that he will have to deal with, EO's can only go so far.

I agree with you. It is not likely. What I am trying to say is that there is never enough concern.

I occasionally have the same thought. And no, it's not "movies", it's history. Narcissists have a way of refusing to give up power.

We have been part-time residents in north Porter County, IN since 2003. NW Indiana is pretty much the only "blue" ground in the whole fucked up state. One of the great solid liberal politicians in the US House is Pete Visclosky of Indiana 1. By Pence's third year as governor these signs were all over north Porter and most of Lake county...



The only upside of the Presidential race was we got rid of Mike Pence in Indiana. His replacement is a guy named Eric Holcomb...of course a conservative Republican...it is Indiana after all. But Holcomb started reversing a whole bunch of Pence's insane shit in the first weeks he was in office. And...Indiana survived four years of Pence, so I suspect the country would survive a couple years of Pence in the Oval Office.
